My mother taught me to make Waldorf Salad and I used to make it every Thanksgiving. Adding chicken can make it a light summer lunch! And it's a great way to use up leftover chicken.

How To Make chicken waldorf salad

  • 1
    Core the apples. Cut into bite-sized chunks. You can peel them, but I like to leave the peel on. It adds a nice color to the salad.
  • 2
    As you cut up the apple, place chunks in large bowl of water with juice of 1/2 lemon added to the water, to prevent browning.
  • 3
    In another bowl, combine mayonnaise, tsp. lemon juice & sugar. Mix well.
  • 4
    Drain apples.
  • 5
    Combine remaining ingredients with apples & mayo mixture.
  • 6
    Chill before serving.
